Not Too Far Distant is a Creative Forces Grant Recipient
Creative Forces®: NEA Military Healing Arts Network is an initiative of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with the U.S. Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs that seeks to improve the health, well-being, and quality of life for military and veteran populations exposed to trauma, as well as their families and caregivers.
It’s almost unbelievable that anyone could be hardened to the point of doing the brutal things they did.
